Nursing left quad injury
LaRavia is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Bulls due to a left quadriceps contusion.
Analysis
LaRavia may have picked up the injury during the Lakers' 116-110 win over the Mavericks on Saturday, when he recorded 13 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 30 minutes. Rui Hachimura would likely enter the Lakers' starting lineup Monday if LaRavia is unable to play.

Chips in 13 points Saturday
LaRavia contributed 13 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block over 30 minutes during Saturday's 116-110 win over Dallas.
Analysis
The fourth-year forward snapped a streak of four straight games in which he only scored in single digits. LaRavia will soon have to cede his spot in the starting lineup to Austin Reaves (calf), but in 14 games since taking on a bigger role for the Lakers, he's averaged 11.3 points, 4.5 boards, 2.1 assists, 1.8 threes and 1.5 steals in 31.9 minutes a contest.
